2007-01-21Script libraryThe Script library have been fixed again. A newly installed piece of software added some configuration to the webservers configuration files that affected all servers for any directory named scripts.2006-10-13Survey from EIS OnlineAs we approach the 20th anniversary of the original release of Trade Wars (December, 1986), I am pleased to announce that I have reached an agreement with Sylien Entertainment to develop a long-overdue graphical remake of this classic game. But before we can proceed, we need your help. Because Trade Wars is 20 years old, I have lost touch with all but a small percentage of its fanbase. Unless we can reach out to this fanbase and prove that interest in Trade Wars still exists, we will be unable to secure the funding necessary to complete this project.

TWGS game server. There been numerous problems with people changing the admin login to the TWGS server. There will be some changes forth coming which will result in that ONLY REGISTERD SWATH users will have access to the admin area. To bad some people just have to screw up things for everyone.
